The MSc in Bioinformatics at the University of Manchester is well established and leads
to a qualification widely recognised in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Students study six taught modules and then undertake a research project. Web-based
options make these modules available to research professionals wishing to study part-
time.
Participants communicate with the course tutors and with each other using bulletin
boards and chat rooms for on-line tutorials. They also have access to the Distance
Learning Service provided by the University Library.
We now offer eight modules, which may be studied individually, or as part of a formal
qualification. The modules follow two themes, Bioinformatics and Computer Science.
The Bioinformatics modules are:
Introduction to Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists
Introduction to Bioinformatics (Bioinformatics 1)
Microarray data analysis (Bioinformatics 2)
Theory and Applications in Bioinformatics
The computing modules are:
C for Bioinformatics
Java
Biocomputing
Object-oriented analysis and design with UML
The module fee for 2002/2003 is £600. You will find further information at:
